    Default How often do you clean your edc ?

    I'm sure this has been asked, but I hate this search function..
    How often do you all clean your carry gun??
    I've been carrying my PX4 compact for a few months now that I trust it after running a bunch of rounds thru it..
    That being said, it's been three weeks or so since a range trip, which I cleaned afterwards..
    Today I was bored so I broke it down and the worst thing I found was a little fuzz, lint whatever in the barrel and on various parts..

    Should that be a concern as to function??
    No big pieces of anything, just small stuff..

    I do run all of my firearms a little wet, so, crap magnet, obviously..

    What say you?

    I don't keep the barrel greased, a little CLP and patched clean...

    I take the shop air compressor and blow my pistol off three or four times a week and I break it down every 30 days.

    Once every two months or after a range trip. Whichever comes first.

    I mostly carry my S&W Shield. I clean it after EVERY range session. Once every 2-3 weeks I'll wipe down the slide with Weapon Shield, unless I get sweat on my gun that day. If I get sweat on my gun on that specific day, I wipe it down that day. Lately I've been wearing an under shirt or "A-shirt" (aka wife beater) underneath my t-shirts to help prevent sweating on my pistol.

    Once a month generally. If I shoot more than a mag or two at the range with it, I'll clean them as well. I rotate through carry guns, so it's usually at least three or four I clean at a time.

    Wait your supposed to clean your guns? Next you guys are going to tell me that you need to rotate or change your carry ammo every 10 or 15 years.

    Clean freaks. Probably turn their underwear inside out after just one day's wear too.
